Rotary switch
The measurement functions for each rotary switch position
are described in
Table 1- 5 on page 20. Turning the rotary
switch changes the measurement function and resets all
other measurement options.
Click the respective “Learn more” pages in Table 1- 5 for
more information on each function.
Each position of the U1231A, U1232A, and U1233A rotary
switch (shown in
Figure 1- 7) is described in Table 1- 5.
NOTE
Some rotary switch positions have a shifted function printed in orange.
Press to switch between the shifted and regular function. See
page 23 for more information on the key.
WARNING
Remove the test leads from the measuring source or target before
changing the rotary switch position.
